Every other year Empire magazine has polled their readers on the greatest movies of all-time. The 2004 and 2006 polls appeared in the March issue of these years and in my May 10 blog entry I commented on the delay of the 2008 poll, promising to keep an eye out— and I have. At long last, the 2008 poll is under way— this time the magazine is choosing the 500 Greatest Movies of All-Time.
Voting closes on September 5 (and apparently you can change your picks if you relog back in). There is a separate login for this poll so you don't have to have a regular Empire magazine user name.
Link to the poll.
I won't reveal my choices, but I will say I skewed contemporary, because in my opinion, a movie poll that's done specifically every-other-year should lean "last decade"— so I went five pre-1998, five 1998-and-onward (with these five ranked at the top).
